Chrome Plating
Recently, I purchased a set of saw blade rims for my C4 that are in need of refurbishing There are the usual scuff marks but in general in good shape but are in need of a good polish or rechroming to get them to a more presentable condition
Anyone have any suggestions where I can find someone preferably here in the San Francisco Bay Area?

Thanks, I had forgotten about the place at 2nd and Nevin...
Wheel Works chain used to offer a chroming service, not sure if they do anymore
I appreciate the suggestions....Stockton plating use to do much of my work but was looking for someone closer but at least there are options.

Hey Jim, The c4 wheels stock are polished and clearcoated. When I had mine, I had a guy polish them. They don't need clearcoating or chrome unless you want the look and have some extra $$$. The guy I used is no longer in business, but there is a shop in Walnut Creek on Alpine that does wheel repair and polishing. I can give you his name and # if you want. Email me. Willie

Thanks Willie and I will send you a message.
These wheels appear to have been polished at some point and if I can save a few $$$ and have them repolished again, it would be cheaper than having them plated.

Thanks Dave for the suggestion about RiteWay
Looks like this project will be put on a temporary hold until after the Holidays but I appreciate the input from all of you.
